Advancing Open Access in IT Law (German)
While the number of online publications of scholarly works within the field of Law is increasing, the number of Open Access publications have always been relatively low compared to other subjects. Books on legal aspects of all kinds of topics concerning digitalization are on the rise throughout all Peter Lang‘s series in Law. Especially in areas like artificial intelligence, blockchain, robotic cars, cryptocurrencies, crypto investments, smart contracts, and legal aspects of neuromarketing. There is even more to be expected within the next 3 years.
What is Peter Lang IT Law?
Peter Lang will make 30 frontlist titles in IT Law (German language) available Open Access over 3 years.
The KU library crowdfunding model will be used to collect library support for a three-year period.
Peter Lang already showed its commitment by releasing 5 backlist titles in 2018, free of charge to libraries.
The 10 new monographs per year will be selected by a specialized editorial board.
